Every facility has protocols or procedures on what to do if a patient attacks you. If you can learn the procedures of the facility you are interviewing with before your interview, respond how they deem appropriate. If you do not know their procedures, respond by emphasizing how you would try to control the situation without you or the patient becoming injured. If a patient has attacked you, describe your experience.

"If I were attacked by a patient, I would yell for help and try to get their hands behind their back and restrain them until help arrived. My priority is to protect myself, the patient, and anyone else who is around."
